Internacional in 2015 Born in
Novo Hamburgo, Rio Grande do Sul, Alisson joined
Internacional's academy in 2002, aged ten. Having progressed through the youth set up, he featured regularly with the under-23 side, before making his senior debut on 17 February 2013, starting in a 1–1 away draw against
Cruzeiro-RS in the
Campeonato Gaúcho championship. His
Série A debut followed on 25 August 2013 when he started in a 3–3 home draw against
Goiás. A backup to his brother
Muriel and competing for second-choice with
Agenor, he finished
his first season with six appearances. He was an undisputed starter in
the following year during which he amassed 57 appearances across all competitions. On 4 February 2016, Alisson signed a pre-contract with Italian club
Roma, signing a five-year deal for a €7.5 million fee. He made his last appearance for Internacional on 15 May 2016, keeping a
clean sheet in a 0–0 home draw against
Chapecoense. During his four years with Internacional's senior side, Alisson made over 100 appearances across all competitions and won the Campeonato Gaúcho title in each season. He made his debut for the club on 17 August 2016, starting in a 1–1 draw against
Porto in
UEFA Champions League, but spent the most of the season as understudy to
Wojciech Szczęsny. He ultimately made 15 appearances across all competitions from the season but failed to feature in any league fixtures. Szczęsny departed at the start of the following campaign for
Juventus, which saw Alisson assume the
number one jersey. He later revealed that he would have considered leaving Roma had he not been guaranteed more first-team football. On 20 August 2017, Alisson made his Serie A debut on the opening weekend of the
season, keeping a clean sheet in a 1–0 win over
Atalanta. He then made his first appearance in the
Derby della Capitale on 18 November, starting in a 2–1 win over local rivals
Lazio. He was praised for his performances in the
2017–18 UEFA Champions League, and played a key role in the club's campaign in which they reached the semi-finals. The club didn't concede a single goal at the
Stadio Olimpico in the Champions League, until the match against
Liverpool in the semi-finals on 2 May 2018, which they won 4–2 on the night, but lost 7–6 on aggregate. Alisson received praise for his performances throughout the
2017–18 season. He kept a total of 22 clean sheets across the 2017–18 season, keeping 17 clean sheets in Serie A and 5 clean sheets in the UEFA Champions League.
Liverpool 2018–19: Champions League title On 19 July 2018, Liverpool confirmed the signing of Alisson for a fee of £66.8 million (€72.5 million), making him the
most expensive goalkeeper of all time. However, the fee was broken just four weeks later when
Chelsea signed
Kepa Arrizabalaga for a reported £71.6 million (€80 million). On 10 August, Liverpool confirmed via their official website that he would wear the vacant number 13 shirt in the
2018–19 season. Alisson made his debut for Liverpool on 12 August, keeping a clean sheet in a 4–0 win over
West Ham United. He received praise for his subsequent performances in wins over
Crystal Palace and
Brighton & Hove Albion which saw him keep three consecutive clean sheets. In August, Alisson was shortlisted for
UEFA Champions League Goalkeeper of the Season, finishing in second place. However, with Alisson in goal, Liverpool went on a run of 20 games unbeaten in the league from the start of the season which saw the Brazilian break
Javier Mascherano's record for the longest-such streak. Alisson also played an important role in Liverpool's Champions League group stage campaign, making a vital save late on in their final group game against Napoli as Liverpool won 1–0 to advance to the knockout stages. On 4 March 2019, he kept his 17th Premier League clean sheet for the season; the most by any Premier League goalkeeper in his debut season since former Liverpool goalkeeper,
Pepe Reina in 2006. At the end of the season, Alisson kept a total of 21 clean sheets in Premier League, and won the
Golden Glove. In the Champions League knockout stages, meanwhile, Alisson played a starring role as Liverpool advanced to their second consecutive final in the competition; in their second-leg semi-final at home to
Barcelona, he made a number of impressive saves as Liverpool overturned a 3–0 first leg deficit to advance past their opponents with a 4–0 home win. In the
final on 1 June 2019, Alisson kept a clean sheet for Liverpool as they defeated
Tottenham Hotspur 2–0, making eight saves in the process, to win his first trophy with the club.
2019–20: Premier League title in 2019 After spending his first season with the designated squad number 13, it was announced that Alisson would be wearing the number 1 shirt for the 2019–20 season, which had previously been worn by
Loris Karius. Alisson started in the
2019 FA Community Shield against
Manchester City on 4 August; after a 1–1 draw, Manchester City ultimately won the title 5–4 on penalties. On 9 August 2019, in the opening match of the
2019–20 Premier League season against newly promoted
Norwich City at
Anfield, Alisson picked up a calf injury in the first-half, and had to be replaced by new signing
Adrián after 38 minutes. He was expected to be out injured for a "few weeks". As a result, he was ruled out of the
2019 UEFA Super Cup, which Liverpool won 5–4 on penalties on 14 August, following a 2–2 draw with Chelsea after extra-time. He returned to the matchday squad on 20 October, in a 1–1 draw with rivals Manchester United. On 30 November, in a 2–1 win over Brighton & Hove Albion, he was sent off for handling the ball outside his designated area. On 21 December, Alisson kept a clean sheet against
Flamengo in the
FIFA Club World Cup final with Liverpool winning the trophy for the first time. On 19 January 2020, Alisson assisted
Mohamed Salah's 93rd-minute goal, in a 2–0 home win against
Manchester United in the league. On 6 March 2020, Alisson was injured again, meaning he missed the next day's Premier League win against
Bournemouth, and the Champions League round of 16 second-leg defeat against
Atlético Madrid, the final two Liverpool matches before the season was suspended due to the
COVID-19 pandemic. He ended the 2019–20 Premier League with a Premier League winner's medal, having made 29 appearances.
2020–21: Liverpool Goal of the Season On 20 September 2020, Alisson saved a penalty in Liverpool's second league game of the
2020–21 Premier League season, a 2–0 away win against Chelsea. This was Alisson's first penalty save for Liverpool since joining the club, and
Jorginho's first missed penalty in nine attempts for Chelsea in all competitions. On 7 February 2021, Alisson made two errors in the space of three minutes, conceding possession to allow Manchester City's
İlkay Gündoğan and
Raheem Sterling to score, as Liverpool lost 4–1. On 16 May 2021, Alisson scored a dramatic late winner in a 2–1 victory against
West Bromwich Albion. With Liverpool chasing a spot in the top four and the score tied at 1–1, Alisson came up for a Liverpool corner in the 95th minute. The corner, taken by
Trent Alexander-Arnold, found Alisson, who managed to score with a header. This was the first goal scored by a keeper in a competitive match in Liverpool's 129-year history, and Alisson became the sixth
goalkeeper to score in the Premier League.
2021–2023: Domestic cup double won their second
Premier League title in 2025 On 4 August 2021, prior to the start of the
2021–22 Premier League season, Alisson signed a new contract extension to stay with Liverpool until the summer of 2027. On 15 May 2022, Alisson won the
FA Cup with Liverpool, defeating rivals Chelsea 6–5 on penalties in the final. Alisson saved a penalty from
Mason Mount, allowing Liverpool's
Kostas Tsimikas to score the winning penalty in the shoot-out. Moreover, Alisson earned a runners-up medal in the Champions League as Liverpool lost 1–0 to
Real Madrid in the
final. Liverpool narrowly missed out on the chance to achieve a historic quadruple, coming second in the
Premier League and the 2021–22 UEFA Champions League but winning both the
EFL Cup and the
FA Cup. On 16 October 2022, Alisson assisted
Mohamed Salah for a late winning goal in Liverpool's 1–0 win over rivals Manchester City in the Premier League. Alisson became the goalkeeper with the most goal contributions in Premier League history, with 1 goal and 3 assists for Liverpool. Three days later, on 19 October, Alisson saved a penalty from
Jarrod Bowen as Liverpool beat West Ham United 1–0 in the Premier League. Alisson was named Liverpool's Player of the Month for October 2022. Alisson reached 100 clean sheets for Liverpool on 6 May 2023 in a 1–0 victory against
Brentford. At the end of the
2022–23 season, Liverpool narrowly missed out on UEFA Champions League qualification. Despite this, Alisson was widely praised as one of the best performers in the Premier League that
season.
2023–present: Second Premier League title in 2026 On 27 August 2023, Alisson made an acrobatic save to deny
Miguel Almirón from scoring in a 2–1 victory against
Newcastle United which would later earn him the
Premier League Save of the Month award for August. On 5 October 2024, he went off injured in the 79th minute during the club's 1–0 away win against
Crystal Palace sidelining him for two months. He marked his return from injury by keeping a clean sheet in Liverpool's 1–0 away win against
Girona in the
UEFA Champions League on 10 December 2024. On 5 March 2025, Alisson delivered a Man of the Match performance against
Paris Saint-Germain in the first-leg of the
UEFA Champions League Round of 16 tie as he made 9 saves to give Liverpool a clean sheet in a 1–0 away win. However, the club lost the tie in the penalty shoot-out after suffering a 1–0 defeat at
Anfield in the second-leg. He eventually secured his second Premier League title with Liverpool at the end of the
2024–25 season. == International career ==
